Botanical Name: Pinus Strobus Origin: Canada English Name: White Pine Bark C/S French Name: Écorce de Pin Blanc Coupée Also Known As: Eastern White Pine Bark Part Used: Inner and outer bark of Pinus strobus Description: White Pine Bark C/S is prepared from the bark of Pinus strobus, a tall evergreen conifer native to eastern North America and widely found in temperate forest regions. The tree commonly reaches heights of 20 to 40 metres, developing long soft needles in clusters of five and producing elongated brown pinecones. The bark is harvested from mature trees, where it appears grey to brown in colour with shallow ridges and layered texture, ensuring consistent thickness and botanical quality. After harvesting, the bark is carefully cleaned to remove natural debris and allowed to dry using controlled air or low-temperature methods to preserve its natural structure and colour. Once dried, it is cut and sifted into uniform fragments, producing coarse, woody pieces with visible fibrous layers. This process maintains the botanical integrity of Pinus strobus while creating a consistent cut suitable for blending and infusion. The finished White Pine Bark C/S displays a light brown to grey-brown colour with firm, woody texture and layered bark surfaces. The pieces remain stable during storage, retaining their visual identity and natural woody aroma over time. The cut and sifted format allows for easy handling, accurate measuring, and uniform blending for various applications. Uses: White Pine Bark C/S is commonly used in tea-style infusions, herbal blends, and aromatic preparations where dried bark material is preferred. It is also suitable for cosmetic formulations, bath products, botanical sachets, craft projects, and educational collections demonstrating tree bark structure and evergreen forest species. The cut and sifted format allows for precise portioning, easy blending with other botanicals, and versatile use in both home and professional environments, offering consistent quality and visually identifiable bark fragments. Storage: Store in a sealed container in a cool, dark place.
